Cells that undergo high rates of mitosis are usually found in rapidly dividing tissues like the skin, intestinal lining, or bone marrow. This is necessary for growth, repair, and replacing old or damaged cells. Cells in these tissues are constantly dividing and multiplying to maintain the integrity and function of the organism.
All somatic (body) cells at one point or another are involved in mitosis. The only cells that do not undergo mitosis, are the sex cells, sperm and ovum cells. Every body cell from liver to nerve cells undergo mitosis at least once. Though some undergo mitosis more often than other, skin cells for example almost constantly undergoing mitosis, while some cells like nerve cells, undergo mitosis only once or twice.
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells, which include all body cells except for gametes (sperm and egg cells). This process allows for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in certain organisms. While most eukaryotic cells can undergo mitosis, it is particularly prominent in rapidly dividing cells, such as skin cells, blood cells, and cells lining the gastrointestinal tract. However, some cells, like neurons, typically do not undergo mitosis after differentiation.
All cells undergo mitosis othe than gametic cells (these are reproductive cells, ie sperm cells and ovums). Mitosis is the cells way of dividing to produce two identical daughter cells, which is necessary for all 'normal' cells of the body. The reproductive cells need to carry non identical information though otherwise you would end up with children who were all exactly alike
1. For normal growth, development and maintenance. Example: A lizard with no tail will gain back its tail within some time due to mitosis. Mitosis will produce new cells which will help the lizard to get back its tail. If our skin is scraped, mitosis will produce new cells to replace back the worn out cells. If we donate a part of our liver, we will gain back that part of liver too because of mitosis. Overall, mitosis is required for the normal growth, development and maintenance.

Yes. All of your body's cells are produced by mitosis (skin, nerve cells, cells of your organs, etc.). The only exception is that your gametes (egg or sperm) cells are produced by meiosis. Every cell in your body except for your egg or sperm (whatever you have) have been produced by mitosis.

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells, which include all body cells except for gametes (sperm and egg cells). This process allows for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in certain organisms.

No, all cells do not divide at the same rate in mitosis. The rate of cell division can vary depending on the type of cell, its stage in the cell cycle, and external factors such as growth factors or signals from neighboring cells. Some cells may divide rapidly, while others may divide more slowly or even be in a resting state.
In mitosis the cell divides once. The two cells, in some cases, may then divide again, but mitosis is just one cell dividing into two cells.
Your cells have to grow, repair themselves and reproduce. Mitosis is the process in which they do this.

Rates of cell division in eukaryotes can vary depending on the type of cell and the organism. Some cells, like skin cells, divide rapidly, while others, like nerve cells, divide very slowly or not at all. Generally, eukaryotic cells undergo a process known as the cell cycle, which includes phases such as interphase and mitosis.
Both plant and animal cells use mitosis to form two daughter cells. They are usually called soma (body) cells but there are some exceptions: nerve cells and liver cells. The liver cells can divide in the time of need.
Mitosis occurs in all plant cells because cells get old and die so they must replicate themselves or the plant will die. Some cells though like muscle cells can't replicate and when they die they are gone forever.
